D , W. Llvincston's afllclavlt denying thnt ho bnd overheard a plot In \Vorld-IIeruld oniceto innnlniilato the city vote for Uoyd , was introduced. The closing session at Uio table ut which the contest of Dcch-Mnjors et al was going on was quiet nnd tincventttil. Tbo contestoo hnd tlio first huU of tin ) aftot'noon and tlio ovldcnco of sevornl tioliccmen was Intro duced. It nil rclntert to the general good 1 order maintained about the polling places on the Oay of election. The closing honrj wcio nllotlou to thn contestants , but they were restricted to rebuttal testimony. As might bo imagined , they hail vorr little to offer , only ono witness being called by them , and his testimony was unimportant. There was nothing further to do , and In this cnso the Html adjournment was taken at 4 u'clocic. Not so , however , with the gubernatorial 1 case , both sides of which kept open during tno cntlro evening the Boyd table to got in ovldcnco and the other side fearing to adjourn lest something unexpected ml hibo sprung on the other side which they would want to answer with rebuttal testimony. The nf tcmoor passed quietly nnd unevent fully nt the Boyd tablo. The only stir wns occasioned when Mr. ( lurley attempted to In troduce the nflldavitof . W. Broivn ot Gul- bcrtson , to the effect that tlio llnnd of Hope at that place visited the polls on election day nnd the women and children put In their tlino begging democratic tickets of the peddlers - dlers and then tovo them up. Tlio children wcro Instructed to do this by ndults. They tore up so many tickets that tlio afllaut found It dlnicult to get ono to voto. Tbo alii- nnco compelled voters to vote nn open ticket and at Upper Driftwood nobody but Powers could bo voted for. In lllnckwood precinct moro votes were polled than there were In the precinct , and thonfllnntdld not consider it a fuir election in that county. The 1'owcrs attorneys objected to nllowing the nflldavit to go In , but it was allowed to go tni/iitt ! the legislature under protest. Thov liveliest scenes were In the Powers corner , whore for n ttmo the crowd of spectators was assembled. The prohibition attorney , V. 0. Strlcklcr , was the llrst witness sworn. Ho testlllod ns follows : Am an attorney nud reside In the city of Omnha. Am ncqualnted with Charles Conn. Was told by Sam McLood that Conn was em ployed to go to ono of the polling places In the Sixth ward on election day to see that no challenging was done nnd to do all the slug ging thnt was necessary. Ilo cnmo to my ofllco in response to a message nnd snld that at a meeting of the Sixth ward republican club , in discuss ing the question of challenging at. the polls , it was decided to havu none of It nnd they employed several persons , liitnscll among others , to go to the polls and slug challengcis if that was the only way to pre vent them from wonting. Ho gave tno to un derstand.thnt ho attended the mooting of the republican club ns a any , mid this was later found out by tlio republicans nnd they re voked his commission. Ho promised to po to Lincoln to testify but failed to go , sending mo word that the man ho worked for wouldn't lot him off. Cross-Kxfttnlnod Don't know who sent him to the republican club. Said "Wharton was Ihcro nt the timo. Conn did not sav who employed him , but gave mo to infer that il wns thoSlxth Ward itopublican club. Sam McLcod sworn Conn worked for mo all summer. I know there wns going to bo tronchory In Douglas county nmonjjr the re publicans who wcro golne to knife Richards , nnd I got him to attend n secret meeting in his ward and ho told mo that they were going to employ men at tlio polls to keep prohibi tionists from doing any challenging- . Cross-examined Conn lives at Twenty- eighth And Burdotto , JDon't ' Icnow why ho .couldn't bosubpujtinod. Went there to find him during working hours and ho wasn't ' there. Mr. Whnrton was then sworn at his own request and stated that ho knew nothing of nny such talk nt nny meeting of his ward club , but thnt , on the contrary , all efforts wore directed toward having a quiet and peaceable election. The Powers attorneys Introduced n ver dant youth of nineteen years named P. M. Moore , whoso homo Is In Missouri , nnd who came to Omaha last September. It scums thnt when the nIHaiico-problbltlonlsts fulled to cot the registration books In evidence , they decided to do whut seemed to thom tno next best thing get a cooy of them , J\Ir , Klckotts admitted they could not stand the expense of proceeding in the legal way and pay tlio cleric for making certiilcd copies , so they sot some boys to work copying them , Moore wns ono of these copyists , nud ho worked Wednesday afternoon. Friday nnd Saturday of last week , and as n result brought" la several shoots of paper with nearly n thousand names of voters who were naturalized last fall and voted at the state election. Mr. "Wharton objected to the Introduction of any such evidence , as It was not shown what candidate the voters supported. The objection was overruled , and Mr.Vlmrtoa applied himself to cross-examining the wit ness with an energy that struck constorna- tlon to the hearts of opposing coun sel The attorney started to quea- tion the witness ooucomlug each voter named iu the list , and the othcrsldo objected. The prohibition notary sustained the oojec- tlon , holding that the nttoraey was employ. Ing cbstructidtinry measures , hut the other half of the court ruled otherwise , mid the uucstiotilag continued until 4 o'clock , when tlio witness snld ho had to go , us ho carried an evening pnper route , nnd ho was released with the understanding that ho would return at 11:15 : to toll sonio of the thing * that ho did not know , Jlr.Vharton then wanted to cross-examine thowltnois Chamber * , \hcwo cross-examlna tion bad boon deferred In on ! or to onublo ; here contestants to Introduce the witness Moore > , Opposing counsel objected , nud both attor neys found It convenient to talk at the sumo time , oncb calling hl full luuf power into requisition lu adrauciui ; his arguments , al- though nolso seemed to bo the great desider atum. IMr. Wharton scorned to have the advan tage In making himself hoard nnd Mr. Kick- ctts then devoted himself to Introducing si lent testimony In ihOBhnpoof biographical sketches of Jntnos E. Hoyd In ovldcnco. Dur ing this proceeding Mr.Vhartou was orating forcibly In support of his objection and Mr. Hickctts hnd lilt form extended over the table and was pounding hit voice into the car of the stenographer , who wns doing bis level best to takedown everything that was going on. Occasionally Notary Thomas would try to get In a word nr twoedgowLso In support of Mr. KickotU , but his vofco was Invariably lost iu the shufllo. Jn the long run , Mr. Ulcketts' short line to the stenographer's cnr told In his favor , nnd ho was finally allowed to introduro his evidence touching the citizenship of Mr. Boyd , although the Intti-r's ' counsel urged that citizenship wns not ono of the grounds named in the notice of contest. The other side urged that a notlco to this effect was served upon Mr. Hoyd last 1'Ylday ' night , und although the Hoyd nttorncys In troduced the statutes showing that all no tices must bo served on the content ton days before the tnklng. ot testimony and within twenty days after the election , the Powers notary ruled that the ovidcnco should bo ad mitted , nnd In it wont , although under pro test. test.The The ovlilenco consisted of a history of Ne braska and the Omaha Illustrati-d of 1839 , both containing sketches of James K.

Ho said they hnd U.SOO names thnt illegally registered , and they wcro going to Lincoln to gctout an injunction to provcut them from voting. I told Mr. O'Donahoo what Mr. Velscr claimed no baa , nnd ho said ho would lay tlio matter before the Bankers' and Business Men's association , Told him Yclser und Strleltlcr would not desist from getting' out that injunction for less than $1,500.

Two weeks ago Chairman Owens of the house committee on Immigration was authorized by a majority of the members of his committee to report a comprehensive bill to the house amendatory of the present contract labor and immigration laws.
